This is so neat! I love the little tea field graphic with the tiny tea sprouts! I planted mine in India. I wanted to plant one in China (for Keemun tea), but it sounds like those plants are meant to be turned into white tea?

Yes, it says that the Chinese (Fujian) tea will be white, the Indain will be Assam black, and the ones in Tiawan will be oolong from the Nantou region . I didn’t think of this til now, but the Indian could be used to make a great base for chai!:)
